• olive oil
• 3-4 tablespoons of tomato concentrate
• parsley and celery leaves
• a teaspoon of paprika

Start by preparing the vegetables. Trim and wash the green beans. Chop the onion and slice the carrot and parsnip.

Heat the olive oil in a pot and add the onion, carrots, and parsnip and saute for 5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Take the pot off the heat, add the paprika and the green beans and stir. Add the stock and bring to a boil.

Let it simmer for 10 minutes and then add the tomato concentrate.

Cook the soup until the green beans are soft and cooked through, for 20-25 minutes. To finish, add the leaves and let the lid on for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Serve with yogurt or sour cream if you want.
